I am a behavioral psychologist, and while I believe that reality shows are HIGHLY EDITED to create a story, I think that Arian is not being fully truthful in her blog. Her (and her mother's) behavior indicate some deep-seeded issues. She is overly sexual, and her mother provided reinforcement for that behavior on-screen for all to see. Whether Steve is a "tool" or not, does not belie the inappropriate behavior by both.

I agree. I don't feel bad for her at all. She wanted her "15 minutes" so she claims, and it was clear she was not there to change. So why should everyone have had tons of patience with her?

I believe that she manipulated her personality cuz she was on TV, but that's really not the point here is it?

i just find it hard to believe that Arian was rapped. Not being rapped myself i would just assume if i experienced something that horrible i would take measure to protect myself. not saying rape is EVER anyone's fault, but you can minimize the risk. i don't think changing boyfriends like you change underwear and acting like a drunken slut on national tv is really protecting yourself.

her mother did not look like a deer in headlights to me. it looked like they both were enjoying "getting back at Steve". It was disgusting to watch the mother support Arian that way.

i love how she is mad that she lost air time on this show. because you know how much more of an idiot would have helped her "career".

I'm watching.

To be honest, I don't understand the reason she gave. I'm going to have to re-watch that scene once the show's over. She did state she learned a lot while there and had made many changes. Truth is, I think she hadn't met anyone she was interested in spending a long date with.

Jacklyn got exactly what she deserved. I do feel bad for Jodi though, but she did it to herself.

I agree with you on both of these. I was never a fan of Jacklyn to begin with.
